United Cooperative, based in Beaver Dam, has received Land O'Lakes Purina Feed's “Dedication to Quality” award for meeting or exceeding the national feed manufacturer's safety and quality standards. Over the years, many of United Cooperative's feed locations have consistently been honored with this award.

“The United Cooperative feed division always works very hard at maintaining a high level of quality with our products and services,” said John Scheuers, United Cooperative vice president of feed operations. “Good quality feed and service results in successful customers.”

As a feed licensed manufacturer (FLM) for the number one feed marketer in North America, United Cooperative is licensed to manufacture Land O’Lakes Purina Feed branded feed, then market and sell it to their retail customers in their local trade area. The FLM programme is the only one of its kind among animal feed manufacturers in the US

“As a part of the FLM program, the local feed license manufacturing cooperative location has the opportunity to earn the program’s annual ‘Dedication to Quality’ award by meeting or exceeding the FLM program requirements,” said Steve Smart, Land O’Lakes Purina Feed FLM program manager. “Some of the requirements even exceed FDA standards. We’re very proud of the great work and commitment our FLMs have to producing the best in animal nutrition.”
